I was vaccinated for Hepatitis A and B in early 1995. In early 2008 I underwent chemo for MM. I was asked earlier this year if I have had Hepatitis B as I now have an enlarged Spleen and Non alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. Are they seeing residual antibodies and is my vaccination still viable. What test need to be done?
